The church of Santa Maria or Madonna of Brothers was built on the remains of the ancient Benedictine monastic cell at the entrance to the village of Fontechiari.
According to tradition, it was founded by the monks Iacopo and Bernardino of Catalonia who brought the worship of the Madonna dei Fratelli (of the Brothers) to the town.
The church has a rectangular plan and is in Baroque style decorated with fake marble on the walls.
It has a beautiful fresco representing the Trinity and inside it is the painting of the Madonna dei Fratelli del 1700s.
Above the entrance, a beautiful functioning organ made by the Catarinozzi family.
